Volunteering: The Best Kept Secret for Sustainable Mental Health...
Naturally, the dialogue surrounding activism and volunteerism centers on how others will benefit from volunteer work that you do. But years of research demonstrate that there are benefits for volunteers themselves!
Whether you are a family member or caregiver for someone with a mental health condition — or have the lived experience yourself — volunteering can be a positive step toward improving your health and yield many benefits. These benefits include. Research shows that regularly volunteering your time for causes that benefit others helps (i) reduce depression, (ii) increase happiness, (iii) develop confidence, and (iv) find purpose - all of which contribute to positive mental health, resilience and thriving in the short and long run!
